Earlier this week, my ordinance banning ICE from Village-owned property passed! 🎉
I don't just talk about being a fighter, I actually am one and I work hard to get things done. You can expect the same fire and drive out of me in the halls of Congress.

I'm canceling my Spotify subscription until the ICE ads are removed. Streaming hate is a choice and I refuse to fund it. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/UD2Ejnhq

Everyone saw this coming.
Trump stiffed his contractors, then fell out w/his architect because he refused to back his demand for a ballroom bigger than the WH.
And those corporate donations he keeps bragging about are pledges, not real money. Taxpayers will end up on the hook one way or another.

State police and sheriff's officers at Broadview detention center are out in riot gear.
A large Halloween demo is being prevented from doing a Jericho walk through the intersection.
Arrests of protesters ongoing. Troopers have also assaulted multiple reporters already.

So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down.
The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed.
And they get another vacation

The Global Sumud Flotilla traveled for months to deliver food, water, and medicine into Gaza, only for the humanitarians on board to be detained and treated like criminals.
I call on the U.S. and Israel to ensure that humanitarian aid reaches Gaza and is safely distributed.

Imagine you're a career military general being summoned for a pentagon strategy lecture by a former game show host and a former weekend talk show host.

Oh good. At least we know that members of Congress and all the Capitol Hill staffers will continue to get paid during the government shutdown. Now I can sleep at night.
How Capitol Hill is set to feel the government shutdown pain
A lot has changed since 2013, including guaranteed backpay for staff which could mean fewer furloughs in congressional offices.

People of Illinois, we need your help.
Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.
We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

At the Broadview ICE facility, an ICE agent tried to run dozens of protesters over with an SUV as we walked on a public crosswalk.
He kept driving for about a full football field until ICE barraged us with pepper balls.
